THE Alpha's HOLLOW BLOOD CHAPTER 10: THE HUNGER IN THE DARK
The creature stepped into the clearing.For a moment, I forgot how to breathe.It stood behind the three hunters, towering over them with a body that seemed too large and too twisted to belong to any living thing. Its shoulders were hunched, its arms unnaturally long, and patches of dark, matted fur covered its skin. Its fingers ended in curved claws that scraped against the ground.Its eyes glowed a sickly yellow.The wounded man beside me began trembling.Not because of his injury.Because of the creature.I pressed my back against the fallen tree and held my breath. The smell of blood hung heavily in the air, mixing with the damp earth and the strange, rotten scent coming from the creature.One of the hunters turned towards us.His head moved slowly, as though he could already sense where we were hiding. He lifted his weapon, but the creature raised one long arm.The hunter stopped.A deep, rough sound came from the creature's throat.It wasn't a growl.It sounded like something tr
THE Alpha's HOLLOW BLOOD CHAPTER 9: THE TRAIL OF BLOOD
I ran until my lungs burned.The stranger’s warning followed me through the darkness.Do not answer it.I didn’t know what I was supposed to hear, but I knew one thing.I did not want to find out.Branches clawed at my clothes as I pushed deeper into the forest. My ankle throbbed with every step, but stopping felt more dangerous than the pain.Behind me, the hunters were still somewhere in the darkness.Or maybe they weren’t.I didn’t dare look back.Another howl tore through the trees.I flinched.My foot caught on a root, and I fell hard.The obsidian stone slipped from my hand and disappeared into the leaves beside me.Pain shot through my ankle.I bit down on my lip to stop myself from crying out.For a moment, I stayed on the ground, listening.Nothing.No footsteps.No voices.Only the wind moving throug
THE Alpha's HOLLOW BLOOD CHAPTER 8: THE STRANGER’S WARNING
The howl faded, but its echo remained trapped between the trees.I stood frozen with the obsidian stone in my palm.The stranger did not move.He was tall, dressed in a dark cloak that reached his boots. A hood covered most of his face, but I could see the sharp line of his jaw and the pale scar running from his left cheek to his chin.His eyes stayed fixed on the mark on my wrist.“You finally came,” he repeated.I tightened my fingers around the stone. “Who are you?”He tilted his head slightly.“That is the first question you ask?”“What else should I ask?”“Why you were called here.”The answer sent a chill through me.“I wasn't called.”The stranger glanced at the stone. “You touched it.”“I found it.”“No.” His voice dropped. “It found you.”A cold breeze moved through the trees. The branches rubbed together above us, sounding alm
THE Alpha's HOLLOW BLOOD CHAPTER 7: THE VOICE IN THE FOREST
The whisper stayed with me long after Cassian led me out of his study.He knows.I kept looking at him as we walked, searching for something in his face. He had returned to his usual cold expression, but his hand remained close to mine, as if he expected the mark to burn again.“What was behind that bookshelf?” I asked.“Nothing you need to see.”“That passage opened by itself.”“Then you should have stayed away from it.”I stopped walking.Cassian took two more steps before turning back.“You keep telling me what I should do,” I said. “But you never tell me why.”His eyes narrowed slightly. “Because you are alive.”“That doesn't explain anything.”“It explains enough.”“No, it doesn't.”For a moment, the corridor became too quiet. I could hear the faint crackle of the fire downstairs and the distant movement of guards beyond the walls.Cassian
THE Alpha's HOLLOW BLOOD CHAPTER 6: THE THINGS HE HIDES
I did not sleep.The room was quiet, but my mind refused to rest. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the guards falling to their knees. I heard their frightened voices calling me cursed.Then I saw Cassian.His eyes when he noticed my mark. His reaction to the rogue. The way he had protected me without explaining anything.He knew something.That thought kept repeating until I could no longer bear lying in bed.I sat up and looked at the locked door.Cassian had told me not to leave his wing without informing him. He had said it like an order, but there had been something else beneath his voice.Fear.I pushed the blanket aside.The corridor was silent when I stepped outside. Two guards stood near the staircase, watching me carefully. Neither of them tried to stop me.Perhaps they were afraid of my mark.Or perhaps Cassian had warned them not to touch me.I walked quietly through the corridor. The faint smell of smoke still clung to the walls from the library attack. Somewhere below,
THE Alpha's HOLLOW BLOOD CHAPTER 5: UNDER HIS PROTECTION
“Too late.”The voice came from directly behind me.Every muscle in my body locked.I could feel someone standing close enough that the air against my neck had changed, cold and heavy. I turned sharply, but there was no one there.Only the empty corridor.The lights above me flickered once.Then twice.A strange pressure filled my chest, making it difficult to breathe.Behind me, the guards were still on their knees.One of them lifted his trembling face towards me. “She made us kneel.”My stomach twisted.“I didn't—”“Elara.”Cassian’s voice cut through mine.He stepped between me and the guards, his body tense, his injured shoulder held slightly lower than the other.“Everyone out.”The guards exchanged frightened looks.“Now,” Cassian ordered.They scrambled to their feet and disappeared down the corridor.
